where we’ve been … and where we’re goingGeorge Friedman

‘There is a temptation, when you are around George Friedman, to treat him like a Magic 8-Ball.’

New York Times Magazine

The author of the acclaimed New York Times bestseller The Next 100 Years now focuses his geopolitical forecasting acumen on the next decade and the imminent events and challenges that will test America and the world, specifically addressing the skills that will be required by the decade’s leaders.

The next ten years will be a time of massive transition. The wars in the Islamic world will be subsiding, and terrorism will become something we learn to live with. China will be encountering its crisis. We will be moving from a time when financial crises dominate the world to a time when labour shortages will begin to do so.

In The Next Decade, George Friedman offers a provocative and endlessly fascinating prognosis for the immediate future.
